    Not as much as other areas. McGregor, Forrest, Dembele, Turnbull, Soro, Connell and Robertson is capable. The defence has Welsh, Jullien, Hjelde, Taylor, Montgomery and Ralston. Some decent players there but little experience. Upfront who the * knows, Ajeti could be off, Bayo could as could Griff. These areas need to be fixed first.

    Mohamed Magdy Afsha, the star of the first football team at Al-Ahly Club , received an offer from a European club during the upcoming winter transfer period.

    A source inside the Red Castle confirmed that Afsha had received an offer from the Scottish club Celtic to obtain his signature on loan with the intention of final purchase.




    And the source continued: Celtic tried to sign the player last summer, but there was adherence to his services, especially since he is one of the basic elements.

    No thanks. We need to get stronger in midfield. Not adding with midgets with all due respect.

    I call complete BS on this. Dredging up a 3yr old rumour is an easy way to use Celtic's name to help raise the guy's profile ahead of January because of so-called prior interest.

    Someone at Al Ahly's at it. Been linked with about 20 of their players over the years and don't think we've signed a single one. Just trying to push names and get hype for a player.

    Al-Ahly have handed Celtic a major boost in their reported pursuit of Egyptian midfielder Mohamed "Afsha" Magdy - with the club reversing their hands off warning and naming their price.

    The Egyptian side accepted a £300,000 bid for him in August from a Turkish side but his form since then has seen his value increase more than ten-fold. The Cairo club's manager Marcel Koller insisted last week the player was not for sale under any circumstances and that appeared to be that for Ange Postecoglouand Celtic, who have reportedly been tracking him since 2020 and were recently claimed to have rekindled their interest.

    The 26-year-old, an Egypt teammate of Liverpool 's Mo Salah, is tipped to become their next big import to European footballafter impressive recent performances and boss Koller is desperate to keep him. But his claim that he won't be sold at any price has been walked back after a meeting at board level.



    Club president Mahmoud Al-Khatib and Al-Ahly's staff they have now announced he can leave if someone meets their asking price of $5million (£4.15m).

    The club stated: "Following a meeting between the president and the football sector planning committee, it was agreed Afsha will not be sold for less than 5 million dollars. We believe it is a very appropriate amount for the player’s capabilities and also for the price of the transfer market at the present time and his agent was informed of Al-Ahly’s conditions.

    This was done with the blessing of the technical staff and manager Marcel Koller."



    Al-Ahly accepted a £300,000 offer for the player in August from Turkish side Sivasspor, but the deal collapsed. And it appears his market value has considerably increased since then.

    Don't think we're interested.

    Does seem a player though.

    He broke almost all of our work in the summer..

    Definitely something in it..

    Watched clips of him and he looks something else. Got the wow factor about his passing/vision and ability to skip by his man..

    The article he has done quotes the players agent. So if he is just using our name to drum up interest then that won’t change anything as to whether our interest is genuine or not.

    I was very impressed by his weight of pass and ability to spot one that’s on so quickly for the clips of him. He also looked quite tenacious and busy for a playmaker despite being quite small.

    Celtic have made contact with Afsha’s representatives about a potential swoop for the attacker.

    The Egyptian, 26, had been previously linked with a move to Glasgow though nothing materialised. But the Al-Ahly playmaker - full name Mohamed Magdy - is still on the radar of the Scottish champions and Football Scotlandcan reveal initial contact has been made.


    interest , at this moment, has not gone further than brief discussions with the player’s reps but Celtic face competition from clubs in the English Championship as well as in Europe with Turkish sides keeping a close eye. There had been suggestions that it could be a loan deal but it's understood it would be a permanent transfer and not an initial temporary move to the Premiership leaders.


    Maher Nawfal, Afsha’s representative, exclusively told Football Scotland: “There has been interest from Celtic but we will take time to consider what is best for Afsha before a decision is made.”

    We told how Hoops manager Ange Postecoglou recently revealed plans to bolster his squad in January and the club have already splashed out on the likes of Alistair Johnstonand Yuki Kobayashi.

    Afsha would provide another attacking option for Celts and a proven track record.



    He has 19 goals in 86 appearances for Al Ahly since 2019 having helped them towards seven trophies during that spell.


    We told recently how his club had plans to knock back any approach for the player before reportedly opting to reconsider as long as their valuation was met for any deal to be done

    I'd like this to be true but seems like his agent is just trying to get a bidding war going.
